The Long Tall Texans Rock Band

CD Cover - "Headless"

Next Image Title

Artist Name

I’ve been producing record covers and t-shirt designs for Brighton rockabilly band the Long Tall Texans since the mid-1980s and they’ve always been a real joy to work on. This mini-album was their most recent release and the brief for the cover, as ever, consisted of little more than the title. The rest was left up to me. I’m pretty familiar with the group and the type of imagery appreciated by their fanbase by now but even so, that’s a very open spec compared to most illustration jobs.

Profile

With 30 years of professional experience and Brighton-based, I have worked for a wide range of clients in the UK, US, Europe and Japan, in the fields of publishing, advertising, packaging, character creation, comics, t-shirt design and much else besides. An early-adapter to digital illustration, I still consider drawing to be the most important aspect of my work and I have stayed true to this approach as my style has evolved. The crisp look of my recent work is just as attributable to early influences such as Hergé and the European ‘Ligne claire’ artists as it is to the vectorised precision of Adobe Illustrator'
